Astonished by the Words of Jesus – Matthew 7:28-29

We would like to think that if Jesus were to preach a message in our church like the Sermon on the Mount the reaction would be something admirable. The prayer room would be full, it would probably spill out and take over much of the sanctuary. Lots of conversions, etc…

But when we see the reaction of the people in Mathew 7, Mark 1, and Luke 4 we are given a view of the power of Jesus’ message and his authority.

They were blown away, without words to express. Do we take the words of Jesus for granted? Are they powerless in our life?
